WASHINGTON (AP) - The number of newly laid off workers filing claims for unemployment benefits unexpectedly rose last week as the recovery of the nation's battered labor market proceeds in fits and starts.

“Unexpectedly”
The term of choice for MSM spinners.
The economy is a dead man walking.
To: blueyon
Well, they figure they’ll “recount” after the media reports claims at prime time. Now it just looks like a few jobs were lost and nobody really reports on it.
Another communist trick....

Does Obama’s push for “extending” jobless benefits have anything to do with new claims?

About the only thing that won’t be “unexpected” with this administration is when they get kicked to the curb in 2012!

This pressholes are really getting comical.
“Unexpectedly” is the new buzzword. I guess they are done with “gravitas”.
To: blueyon
Unexpectedly
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

When a republican is in The White House, job losses, “Skyrocket upward.”
When it’s a democrat, they, “Unexpectedly increase.”
Thank you enemedia, for proving Ann Coulter right once again.
